# Usage:
# describe iptables do
#   it { should have_rule('-P INPUT ACCEPT') }
# end
#
# The following serverspec sytax is not implemented:
# describe iptables do
#   it { should have_rule('-P INPUT ACCEPT').with_table('mangle').with_chain('INPUT') }
# end
# Please use the new sytax:
# describe iptables(table:'mangle', chain: 'input') do
#   it { should have_rule('-P INPUT ACCEPT') }
# end
#
# Note: Docker containers normally do not have iptables installed
